Been a long wait but as always, well worth it. I knew I wanted to start with a 98k action and after scratching around for a while, I found one I felt was worth building off of. Decided early that this rifle would be used as a stalking rifle and as such would only have iron sites and the bridge was to be left alone. Looking forward to getting out to the range and see how she does. Below are the details.

275 Rigby Erma Code 27 Date 1939 Action
Oberndorf contour 25" Douglas barrel
NECG front pin and rear fixed sight with 2 flip ups
Barrel stud
Stock blank was picked up at DSC in 2019 from Luxus

That’s sexy
 
Appreciate the kind words folks. Have a couple more blanks stashed away so guess it's back to the drawing board.
 
Well done, you had a action and a plan. Beautiful rifle that you will enjoy afield for life.
 
Another handsome piece I’d be afraid to take into the field!

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
